Mémorial américain

The American Memorial is a monument in Meaux created with sculptures and architectural elements to commemorate World War I. It was designed by Frederick William MacMonnies and stands near the Museum of the Great War.

The memorial was inaugurated in 1932 near the site of the Battle of the Marne, where American troops fought with Allied forces in 1914. It was built during a period when nations sought to acknowledge their shared military experiences.

The memorial serves as a place where people gather on commemorative days to remember those who died in World War I. Visitors can observe how the space brings communities together in reflection.

The memorial is located directly next to the Museum of the Great War, where visitors can explore additional exhibits about the World War I conflict. Combining a visit to both sites provides a more complete understanding of the period.

The monument incorporates symbolic architectural elements representing peace and brotherhood between nations. These symbols reflect a meaningful turning point in the relationship between America and France.
